Before taking these eyes to these awesome pictures, may I ask, why “Ghost”?

Bentley Continental GT with 22 inch D2Forged MB2 Wheels

The one you’re seeing right now is a modified Bentley Continental GT by Klutch22 which features a set of 22 inch D2Forged MB2 wheels. This presenting how the wheels need to have durability but don’t let go what’s called a style. How durable? This car has taken off by its owner for this year’s Bullrun Rally. Not only for occasion, but it got its roads along from Canada to the starting point of the Rally in Las Vegas.

Read how the car gets its a fully description at the press release after the break. Don’t miss to browse the gallery, they all are awesome pics.

Press Release:

A Bentley GT did the entire Bullrun rally on 22″ D2FORGED Wheels!!!

We are asked many times are our wheels durable. Can they stand the test of daily driving. Yes, they can. We got more than enough scientific data to prove it all, but one test, a test that goes greater lengths than any lab coat figure crunching scientist can bring you is the one to rule them all (no LOTR pun intended).

When you decide to enter into a partnership with a company like Klutch22, it can only go big. And big it went. Klutch22′s Bentley Continental GT was the vehicle selected to be the project car, it will prove to any non-believers what quality forged wheels can endure. With 22″ D2FORGED MB2′s to take the burden of a high mileage abuse, it was all set and done for a great adventure.

As you may already know, Bullrun Rally is one of the popular road race rallies going on in the United States for quite some time. Going from Las Vegas to Miami it’s no small feat, no matter what car you are doing it in. Combine that with driving on different roads, surfaces, damages to both the car and wheels are something that cannot be avoided.

But D2FORGED MB2 wheels and the Bentley Continental GT stood up to the challenge! Not only that! Owner and competitor in this year’s Bullrun Rally took his car all the way from Canada to the starting point of the Rally in Las Vegas!

So there you have it. After thousands of miles, after use and abuse of all kinds. Neither the car or the wheels showed any signs of weakness. Wait, there was one flat tire due to a nail. But hey, a small price to pay for great and amazing looks, great performance and worry-free driving on D2FORGED wheels.

2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept

The 2011 Jaguar Sport cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept is a team effort between Jag and Bertone and serves as way for Bertone to celebrate its 99th Anniversary. The new compact Jag's name is a melding of the company's first initial and its age. Bertone says the concept is a design study in what it calls "dynamic imbalance" between parallel lines and "leaping forms."

The 2011 Jaguar Sport cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept result is a compact, four-door sedan (4.5 m long, 1.35 m tall, 1.95 m wide, 2.8 m wheelbase) that fits perfectly into the D segment. Starting with a classic three-volume architecture, Bertone designers have shaped the taut, muscular body with bold yet refined character, entirely constructed with handmade aluminum panels in true Italian "coachbuilder" tradition. The unique personality of the luxury sports sedan is emphasized by the sophisticated minimalism outside and in, underlining the true nature of the British authenticity where understatement equals exclusiveness.

In terms of technological innovation, the 2011 Jaguar Sport cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept uses a pure hybrid power system designed and developed by Bertone Energy (the newest Bertone division dedicated to renewable energy research), including a thermal engine for range extension and two electric motors which provide propulsion for the rear wheels. Bertone has been studying ecologically sustainable powertrain systems for the past twenty years, with many examples including full-electric "extreme" concept cars like the 1992 Blitz or 1994 Zer record car, which was the first full-electric car to break the 300 km/h speed barrier in the world.

Designed by Bertone’s chief of design, American Michael Robinson, the 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept blends shapely surfacing with powerful proportions. “It is a typical Jaguar,” says Robinson. The classic cat-inspired rear haunch lends itself to Jaguar’s heritage, and the C-pillar is much more formal than that of the current Ian Callum- designed XJ and XF models. The B99 also sports a bit of concept car showmanship with its rear-hinged suicide doors and B-pillarless cabin.

Despite the shapely body concours, there is little else in the way of ornamentation save for the chrome window surrounds, front fender vent and Jaguar “leaper” on the hood. Bertone characterizes this as a “minimalist luxury sports sedan.” It is a nice blend of tradition and modernity.

That tradition is also apparent in the interior’s large swaths of wood veneer and leather. The stylish cabin would help the 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept command luxury prices, while at the same time allowing its clientele to feel socially responsible as a result of the unique powertrain.

Jaguar has plans to enter new market segments by 2014, but this will be done with their own work: "We have concepts all over the place. A lot of work has been done," said Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar’s global brand director.
